I wouldn't bring past and future into the equation right away because they are far too many additives to put on the table that require analysis. Actually, hands down, right now, I don't have a clue what you're on about. You have made a general statement that encompasses issues that can both support and shread the actual statement in an obscure manner. I think someone paid you to derail this thread from Intelligent People Being Chronics to spiritlevel is a dumbass.. I'm going to retreat, else I'll spent a lifetime disecting paragraphs with no more gold at the end of the rainbow than I'm already assured.
I have no intention of making anyone look like a "dumbass" I am simply putting forward my opinion on the over important people who believe themselves to be superior because they consider themselves intellectualy better or in some way "educated" that puts them above others.
The surgeon who saves your life is no better a person than the man responsible for taking away your garbage even though he is probably (not always) better educated.
The main crux is my point of "all knowledge being relative to our capability to understand it and it's validity in view of how often "facts" of old are proven to be false", therefore knowledge is in a constant state of flux.

I fail to see what your remark about African Americans has to do with knowledge?
The problem wasn't one of knowledge or lack of it , it was a question of prejudice (which still exists today). Educated men did nothing too.
